I absolutely LOVE what you do with old/older pieces of furniture. Maybe this is the stuff of a separate post, but how do you pick furniture that is worth doing all this to? I see pieces at garage sales, etc but never know if the inside is how you pick it or the outside or both. Years (and years) ago I picked up a dresser from some junk dealer and painted it blue!! However, the dealer, I think, let his cat live in the drawers and I never could get the smell out of it. What should I be looking for in a used piece? And your dresser makeover above is absolutely amazing! Beautiful. Blue is my favorite color! Thank you.

Love your blog and gorgeous projects! I’ve recently bought a chest of drawers and have started my furst real makeovers :) I wanted to ask if you prime and paint the inside of the drawers as well? I also find I’m going through loads of spray can primer. Thinking it may be cheaper to buy a spray gun and a large can of primer paint? Your advice would be appreciated. Thanks for inspiring blog!

I agree with the Polycrylic – it can take weeks to fully cure and it’s always tempting to place things on top – I find lighter things are fine but heavier things like a lamp etc you should probably wait a few weeks for the surface to cure.

I prefer they Polycrylic or the Varathane, but they both dry so quickly you have to work fast or you can get those visible brush strokes.
